No one has sole repository of knowledge.

Only ignorant people make such claims.

Actions are better than inactions.
Do something!
Add value!!
Keep moving!!!

Happy new month and yes, it's been a while. This month do have a rethink, reset and appraise your strategies.

Military personnel plans retreat after a defeat to restrategize. You can take a cue!

If your performance isn't also optimal as desired, reset, please.

The computer increases its productivity after rebooting.

Such is life, when heads get bloody, refuse to bow.

Do something differently, this month.

Do you often wonder why new cars, speed more and offer better usage?

Your guess is as good as mine.👌

Reset, renew, reorder and you'll have what you desire.🙏
That's my opinion and a valid take away from this post.

Good morning and I have taken time to reset.

Expect a great come back.

Sincerly yours,
EbunWordsmith who likes to write.🤔

Micheal W. Nicholson is the highest well certificated person. He hàs thirty degrees .
Benjamin Bradley Bolger on the other hand has fourteen degrees.
Ironically, they're both from Michigan. 👍

Never ever despise menial workers.
There lies dignity, in all genuine hustle.

The clock is ticking, start acting!
Don't ask in December how did the time fly.
Time is progressive!

Happy new year, folks.
Another page and brand new opportunities are yours!
Start thinking, working and strategizing. 2021 is a clean slate.
Use it well!

Gratitude multiplies the little, you have.
And ingratitude
Shrinks the size, of what you possess.

Life is a full course meal.
Your capacity determines your satiety.
Relish life!

11/09/2020

Never be tired of knowledge. Learning is the new normal. It may not come cheap, but be assured, ignorance is costlier.

21/08/2020

You can't stop life from throwing things at you. But you can at least turn the garbage therein to treasure! Yes, you CAN. 👌

04/08/2020

The new normal.
How prepared should one be?
Certain jobs are phasing out.
While new ones are springing. Be relevant!

05/07/2020

The pandemic has its benefits.
Pay keen attention, you'll see.

10/06/2020

Every system appears to be failing and crumbling.
How strong is your anchor?
Would you rather, retool?

What is your compelling imperative? Sounds big?

It is this simple,really.
What drives you, so hard?
Success? Family? Career?
Money? Wellness? Joy?

Find it, use it and stay on course.
Every brand new day, is a privilege. An open cheque to do
Something, be useful, improve
And make a difference.

Your compelling imperative
Makes life look easy, gives you
A brighter smile💃, it also adds
A s***k to your outlook.

A tennis bat in Serena Williams hands.
Alicia Key's soul lifting voice.
Gandhi's helping hands.
Steve Harvey's laughter/ hope invoking stories.

What is your compelling imperative?
Discover it, utilize it and it surely
Would soothe the ailing world.

Good morning and this is the
Story, i'll love to share.
May our weekend be restful.
May this pandemic's reign
Be shortlived!

We deserve better.
Fly, fly, fly away....
If you affirm so long enough
It certainly would.

'The World of Our Imagination'

Good morning and permit me to ask a simple question.

Thank you for granting me the
Express permission. ✌
If you are opportune to create
The world, how would this
World look like?

I taught Literature for thirteen years and need i mention that
I thoroughly enjoyed doing so.
Even now when i teach people
Around me, they ask me how i
Knew certain things.👻

Well, all writers have a unifying
Factor, they create their world
In the course of writing.
Some like a crying or suffering world, some choose, fantasy 💃
You know living happily everafter

We all know that, most Literature
Are imaginary, the stories are
Exaggerated or even non existed
However, it is mostly true to life.

My concern this morning is
How we create the world
We live in, do we make it
Habitable? Or we make it
Difficult for others to live in?

What do we propagate?
Do we spread love, gossip
Hate, fury, malice or friendship?
What exactly is the world of
Our imagination?

You see, our imagination
Gains strength from what
We envision, what do you see?
The world can know peace
If together we love peace.

I often write with optimism
Simply because i believe
That we all have the power
To change the narrative.
It is in US! Yes!!!

Everyone has the potential
To become, dream, live
And achieve!
Let US change our world of
Imagination, then slowly
And surely, this world would

Become a better place.
Heaven on earth was
Providence intention
For humanity.

Deeds are more VALUABLE, talk is CHEAP.
I am an early bird, thus i wake early too. As i laid on my bed musing, this morning. I remembered my mom's good deeds. She passed on about twelve years ago but i am yet to forget her kind deeds.

We are indeed remembered for our deeds. I have intentionally focused on leaving the same legacy. Perhaps not in her area, in particular, i wish to be remembered for adding value to humanity. I have a flair to write, instill hope, douse doubts and feeling of helplessness. I choose to influence folks in my spheres of influence, in this domain, afore mentioned. So help me God.

My late mum retired as a teacher and got paid for her thirty five years of active service. I accompanied her to get the cheque. Yes, it was a lumpsome but i felt it was not handsome enough. The following day, someone approached her for a loan. The need was genuine but i felt it was all wrong, to submit her gratuity on the altar of sacrifice. It was neither she nor logical.

I was appalled when my mum promised to oblige the fellow. My mum knew i was crossed and told me that, she had no pressing need for it and she was willing to let it go. I asked her, what if he does not repay as promised? She simply said it was still okay.

In life we are swift to talk, judge,argue, disparage, opine, condemn and all? How swift are we to offer good deeds? Lend a hand, meet a need, shoulder someone's pain, run an errand and be generally available to assist especially the vulnerable.
How often do we do these?

Just that you know, when my mum was old, i asked her one day, what has always baffled me about her kind gesture to folks.
Mum, why would you always give to people? Are you aware that, they are not as needy as they portray? I feel most of them capitalize on your kindness.

Her response dazed me further.She said Ebun, i give not because i have in abundance, i give because i know how it feels to be in want. For those who abused it, i pity them. That is what i was wired for. It is my destiny and i have never regretted it.

That put paid to my inquisition. I mean she gave her substance and i am on a mission to do the one, i know to DO. I write not to flaunt but to inspire.

Please, folks, when next you see me write on my page, know that, i am my mum's daughter. I do what i do even if it isn't appreciated. It does not change ME. Talk is cheap but deeds aren't. Good morning and i feel the world would be more colorful if we engage what we are wired for, to help humanity.

Like this image, let us use our diverse gifts to comfort, salvage, inflience and promote humanity. I rest my case!

Appreciation is paramount for appreciable growth. Be thankful for your level and you'll keep progressing.

14/05/2020

It's my birthday and i rejoice in God. Life is priceless and i do not lightly esteem it. I am grateful for the many privileges
I enjoy!

"My life has been a joy to me
No matter, where i go
I have learned to live in harmony
With kindly friends or foe".

Late Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe.

Every journey of discovery, leads to recovery, only if you are;
Sincere, Consistent and Focused.

Good morning beautiful peeps, Please, sequel to my proposal on applauding health workers and other frontliners, who put their lives, on the line in the fight against the COVID - 19 pandemic.

I wish to genuinely thank my friends who bought the vision and engaged. From the fillers i got, such has been trending in Lagos and was even aired on Channels Television. I also saw a video clip of governors wives doing same. That is the thing about ideas. If you fail to swing into action, you might be out smarted. I feel thankful that, patroitism is winning. Thanks, dear fellow, compatroits.

As we rise daily, let us be assured that, it is better to be safe than be sorry. Stay safe, take safe precautions , by washing your hands often, be conscious of surfaces, maintain physical distance and get a portable sanitizer and make it mobile. Use it often too. The virus is lame, non living and dumb. Don't spread it, don't host it. Above all connect with Divinity. Scientists agree that, there is a higher force, a Supreme being and I DO too. If he marks you for SAFETY, then you are SAFE indeed. Don't shy away from him, at this material time, embrace Him.

It is a global war, we shall overcome soon. When this is over, we shall tell the stories with delight. See you then and let this hope, keep you positive. It shan't be long and keep your faith alive.

No matter how dark a tunnel is, there must be a ray of light, at the end of it. Motion is essential and we are moving steadily to that ray of light.

I woke up with a thought, this morning and it is worthy of mention. We are all aware of the concerted effort made at flattening the curve of this novel pandemic....COVID- 19. The goverment, the health workers, who are frontliners and the entire citizenry.

In Great Britain, ever since the inception of this scourge, every Thursday, at eight o'clock in the evening, citizens stand at their doorposts to clap, applaud the health workers(NHS) for their sacrifices. It started and now it has been well embraced.

Today, i opine that, we can do this also, to appreciate our doctors, nurses, laboratory personnel and all other frontliners, who put their lives on the line daily, to flatten the curve.
In Lagos and Kano, regrettably some of these folks, while on active duty, had contracted the virus. They are our heroes, let us celebrate them, please.

All we need to do is choose a date, stand at your door, clap, pray, if you can. By all means cheer on these wonderful people. A little helps and i think, we all can. Let's do this and contribute our quota, in a little way to stand by our health workers, who work assidously to save us.

I expect your feedbacks in the comment section, please. Naija no dey carry last o. We shall overcome. Thanks in anticipation, for your consideration.

What is a miracle, in your
Definition of the word?
A vaccine against polio, measles, small pox, tuberculosis, hepatitis is all a miracle. And when the vaccine against this novel pandamic arrives?

Well, it shall be a mega miracle.
In the interim, learn to see each
Day as a miracle. This prevalent
Time gives credence, to the fact.
Freedom is a miracle.

Association is another miracle.
Mobility is also a miracle.
Unrestrained activity.

Hobnobbing and mingling are
Miracles. Freedom of worship
Is a big one at that.

Inhaling and exhaling fresh air
Is a notable miracle, also.
Hugs, kisses and hand holding
Culminate as miracles.

When this is over, hopefully soon
We shall learn to appreciate
Divinity for numerous miracles
That has once been ignored.

Bear hugs are so scarce
Handshakes are forbidden
Togetherness an abberation now
Social distancing has become The order of the day.

These and more are the
Take away(s) to hold
Dearly for the rest of our lives.

Life is not a race, it is a journey.
Some would start slowly and eventually arrive.
Some rather fast and they crash.

Whatever category, you fall, just
Know that, a race is competitive.
Which is why athletes strive to
Get the medal!

No one gives you a medal in life
Embark on the journey of life
With prayer, caution and wisdom, depth and courage.

Safe arrival is the ultimate
In any journey. Whether you
Choose to fly, journey by road
Or by sea, choose your mode.

But refuse to condemn the few
Who are not opportune to fly.
The journey of life ends someday, so be conscious of it.

So that when the journey ends
You die empty, fulfilled and Assured, stop racing for things.
It would come with time on

The journey, this journey is
Priceless, work, play, smile, Breathe, live and not exist
Gain motion per time.

Always know that life is
A journey and not a race.
The fastest is not the winner.
Everybody wins, someday.

Happy Easter, friends.
Take a moment to be thankful for the valuable gifts of Providence.
Life, family,friiends,
freedom, etc.

There is nothing absolutely new.
Every beginning
Also has an end.
Let us keep hope alive!

Give attention to your thoughts.
What you incubate, germinate.
Stop growing
Negativity.

APATHY is a proof of indolence. When you truly engage, you
CARE.

The last decade, brought us, Instagram, WhattsApp, Messenger, Snapchat.
Surely, this decade has much more in store. Be open !

07/01/2020

Value time, stop wasting or spending time on unproductive activities. Invest your time and ensure it counts.Money, items, goods can all be replaced, when lost. Time is an irreplaceable asset. It has started ticking again, this year and decade. What should i do differently and how do i judiciously utilize my TIME? If you keep asking these germane questions, you'll surely succeed. Good morning and stop honouring every invitation. Prioritize your engagements, do not be commonly found in places, that do not yield profit(s).
